Damn hippies, bonus recipe included

Allergens have changed once again. Last week ended with me being down with sinusitis and an ear infection. I'm recovering from that pretty quickly. Today's misery was itchy eyes and drippy nose. Even though I'm a nurse, I'm a huge fan of naturopathic treatments. A friend shared a recipe for an "allergy shot" that she's recently started using with great results.

Here's the bonus recipe part:

You put a couple tbsp of water in a shot glass, then you add 2 drops each of lavender, lemon, and peppermint essential oils. Then you down it like a shot of whiskey.

It burrrrrrrrns. It just burns. Just like good bourbon.

It also works. Seriously. It fucking works! Within 10 minutes my symptoms were gone.

No more itchy eyes. No drippage from the nose. No throat tickles. I am healed!

I'd add a big "hallelujah" but everything I've eaten or drank since taking the shot has a strange flowery, minty, citrusy taste.
